Hello, I try to attack high F which note oboe quartetto by mozart. large diameter of staple bottom large diameter of staple top adjust length of...
Yanagita, What I have found helps with the response of high F is that there is more space below the staple, so if you keep the same exposed length to the reed,...
This is very interesting, Geoffrey. Thanks much! I wonder, is there a similar relationship between end of staple inside the counter bore (space below the...

Thank you G. Burgess. I forgot to write about insert length(depth). Now, the length 15 mm. your advice is that the length is shorter by cutting ? I try it ! ...
I"m not sure. I think gigh C will definitely be less easy to attack with too much space below the staple, the other notes I can't speak about. Perhaps someone...
Hi, Burgess I have tried on your advise. I can attack high F at 423 hz *staple length 44 mm *insert depth 7 mm *tip width 8.6 mm perhaps, using a fasson with...
Hi all, There is definitely a relationship between the diameter of the bottom of the staples, how much is or is not in the oboe etc. on stability and attack....
You certainly bring up another interesting topic here, Matthew: standardized pitch! My Bradbury copy is so happy at about 412, and if I could play at that...

I don't want to go on record with a vote against flexible pitch standards. But one thing that should be considered is that there are people with "absolute...

Dear Marianne, In addition (from an amateur's standpoint), I sometimes find it useful to try to play slow movements along with recordings. This would pose a...
Probably everyone knows this, but for those who like to play along with recordings or use them for inspiration, there is very affordable and easy to use...
So much technology they didn't have "back then" -- One thing people seem to forget is that instrument bores shrink over time, especially where the wood gets...
Dear friends, I am an amateur player on both hautboy and traverso and subscribe to both discussion groups. I think you would be interested in a discussion that...
Hi Everybody, 400, 405, 408 or 415? It will be a bit of a problem deciding who is right? There will be always somebody who is convinced about one figure! That...
It seems to me that we may be stuck w/ 415 and 392 -- for anyone who also regularly plays modern instruments at 440, and especially anyone w/ strong relative...

I'm very pleased to see these comments by Steve. It's a rather simple matter, but still it is surprising how many people overlook this, or will even argue that...

I think Simon's arguement is overlooking one of the standards of pitch research: pitch was regionally quite variable. And so no one pitch will ever be the...

My experience heartily concurs with both Steve's and Paul's. The narrowest point and tenon of the top joint are typically the only places where wood is...

If I understand Paul, Steve (and Mary's?)observations correctly, they are reporting that an oboe whose wood has expanded inward and consequently now contains...
In a conical bore, you can make a note higher by widening the bore just above the first open tone hole. For instance, a too low G is often due to the shrinkage...

An interesting question! I'm often asked: does a wider bore make the pitch higher or lower? and am hard put for an answer. My impression is that it doesn't...

My personal theory on bore shape and pitch level involves an "implied cone" that comprises the bore, staple, and reed, coming to an implied apex in the...

Hi everyone! Does someone have a copy of the aria "Lieta quest'alma amante" from opera Erifile by Antonio Sacchini? Where could I find it easily? Thanks! Simon...
Hello, I have a copy of it. It's quite an amazing piece written for Ludwig August Lebrun and his wife Franziska Danzi. I copied it at the Library of Congress...
